My mama said "You can't sing"
My daddy said "You just stand still"
While my grandma told me I got the swing
'Cause she couldn't hear a single thing
I decided not to care
I decided to go my way
Packed my bags and left
Aiming only for the best
So I learned singing real fast was the key
To be a good singer, to have it in me
Although fast notes are quite fun
They won't make that one feeling flow
How should any melody be sung
To make you gather chills from head to toe?
So I heard that singing real slow is as hard
That's what made Sinatra shine in the dark
That's what made Chet Baker reach over the sea
And it's what will make a good singer of me
This whole thing worked for a while
But I felt the need for something more
So I tried changing my style
'Cause singing slow is such a bore
So after the journey to find my own voice
I learned that the secret is just to enjoy
Sing with my heart and a reason behind
Forget my body and loosen my mind
So after the journey to find my own voice
I learned that the secret is just to enjoy
Sing with my heart and a reason behind
Forget my body and loosen my mind
Loosen my mind
